told of hie visit to boston where he inspected the extension of the subway being constructed in boston to cambridge i always did believe that thc boston plan of subway is the one most adapted to meet Chicago conditions said the spe cial traction counsel for the city in boston they have a surface and subway combination the idea beiug to take the traffic off the streets in the congested-i parts only that to my mind ls what Chicago j needs there the elevated trains go down to the subway when the heart of the city is reached it is in boston that you see i , a sign inviting you dowu in the subway : j to take an elevated train i contend there is no necessity for carrying a subway say out to seventy fourth strect when what we are aiming at ls to relieve the congestion in the business center of the city the mercti ants in the outlying districts have a just criticism when they say tbat a system of extended subways would carry pas sengers by their places of business under ground ou the other hand with through roibs and a subway system that would carry passengers under ground iu the heart of the city and to tbc surface again within a reasonable zone the outside merchant would be benefited it would provide bet ter and more comfortable facilities for a trader to go from the north side to the west side and give the west side man a better chance to bid for north side busi ness now there is transferring and much ! delay within the loop territory mr fisher thought it would lie wise toi provide for a short-haul system taking pas sengers from the lake to halsted street as a western boundary

that he knew the different men that have been engaged in the work of tam pering with juries that rayburn and holland were the direct links of the combination of which be was a part that he furnished
